Young Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) sees dead people—meaning ghosts. He is plagued with visitations from those with unresolved problems who appear from the shadows. He confesses his ability to his child psychologist Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) who attempts to uncover the truth about Cole’s supernatural abilities. The results for patient and therapist are a jolt that awakens them both to something startling and profound.
M. Night Shyamalan has become a director with a reputation for fantastic twist endings, and this is the film that started that—at times, unfortunate—trend. A beautiful, small movie, The Sixth Sense (1999) warrants multiple viewings, but you will absolutely never forget your first. Join us as we relive our initial encounters with this paranormal classic and ponder its effects on pop culture. Listen… as Johnny Has the Keys turns the red door handle and enters the room where the temperature suddenly drops as people attempt to reach us from beyond the grave.
***Note: We’ve been having some Zoom connection problems and, occasionally, briefly, you may hear a glitch or our audio (Tim’s usually) does not sync with the video. Never fear, we catch most of the audio and (with video) the error seems to correct itself shortly. We are working on solutions to this problem.***
